  THIS VIDEO WAS so much fun! We had no idea Sweden was responsible for so many important, life-saving inventions AND things we thought were American Inventions! It's a short list and we know there are many other inventions that didn't make this list. But we thoroughly enjoyed learning about what Sweden brought into our World and we know you will too.

  The presenter missed one hugely important thing about the seat belt, Volvo made the patent free for everyone to use. They decided that the invention was so significant, it had more value as a free life saving tool than something to profit from.

  All these impressive inventions gets even more impressive considering how small country with few people Sweden has relative to the rest of the world. Im  proud to come from this country.

  Every list I've seen of Swedish inventions misses a really important one, the "rollator". It's basically what americans know as a "walker" but with wheels. A Swedish woman named Aina Wifalk suffered from polio so she built herself a rollator to get around easier. Today it has given my 80 year old father his freedom back. It's much better for old people to keep active, and this gives them the support they need while they can still walk around, instead of remaining seated in a scooter.

  The graphics chip for computers and the gps was invented by a Swede (Håkan Lans), The propeller for large ships was invented by a Swede (John Ericsson), The sferical ballbearing was invented by a Swede (Sven Wingquist), The dynamite was invented by a Swede (Alfred Nobel) and many many more wonderful things :)

  Fun fact, Anders Celsius did put the boilingpoint at 0 and freezing point at 100. It was Linnaeus that recommended him to turn the scale so 0 was freeze and boilng 100

  Here&apos;s an invention you won&apos;t hear about on any YouTube video. My great grandfather Douglas Andrew Billany (1865 - 1918) was half English and half Swedish and born here in England. He invented <i>Stocks and Dies</i> which was patented in 1902. It cuts threads on iron rods etc. In other words, it turns iron rods into screws, bolts etc. His second eldest son, Walter Billany (1891 - 1968) took the patent to the USA when he emigrated in 1915 and the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan was the first to use it. My great uncle Walter became an American citizen in 1922 and originally worked for Ford and his descendants still live in the USA inc. Juliette Van Otteren who is a renowned photographer whose name appears in the Who&apos;s Who of American women. She&apos;s a blue eyed blonde like her Swedish ancestors.<br><br>So there&apos;s another connection between Sweden 🇸🇪, the UK 🇬🇧 and the USA. 🇺🇲

  Sweden actually ranks above the US in global innovation. This according to the global innovation index. It’s 2nd behind Switzerland, US is third.

  Not only did Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) donate enough, &nbsp;that after his death the Nobel Prize was created as described in his will, but he had another 335 patents during his lifetime.
